Ok...well my Beardie, Smurf, has developed a bit of a temper problem....
He is about 18 months old and used to be really nice and easy to handle. He was handled fairly regulary and its not like we stress him when he is handled. He used to just kinda sit on my shoulder or by my computer on my desk and be really gentle.
BUT!
Now he's turned in a royal little @*#%. He constantly tries to bite, if you stick your hand in the enclosure he'll go for it, he's agressive at feeding time and now i cant handle him unless i have a towel to protect my fingers.... :shock: coz frankly...i like having all of them ATTACHED to my hand. Its very weird.....its not as though he is about to shed and is feeling a little uncomfortable....because he shed a few weeks ago. It was just quite sudden, one day he was nice and the next he was a little psycho...
This has now been going on for a while now. I kind of expected him to get harder to handle as he got older, but I didnt expect it to be this bad....
Any advice???
Thanks, Sarah
